Our 2012 Evoque was no different in insurance price to our 07 Freelander 2 even though the value was 13K vs 3K.
That was two years ago. |

Last 12 months I spent £1900 on it - that includes fuel, VED, Insurance, MOT, service (inc EGR & shock absorbers). Doesnt include depreciation.

Just check it is the right part as it is the bulb holder for the indicator on the wing.
Didn’t realise it was the headlight 5w holder that you needed sorry. |

So Billsy, you’d spend a few thousand on a different car to save a couple hundred on tax??

Got my tax reminder through and it’s just short of £400 for my 07 🥲.
I completed 1800 miles last year! Bring on tax per mile charges or the old girl will have to go. |
